Levein Sacked

[The 90+2]

Sunderland manager on Monday maybe :greengrin

[Jones28]

Correct, I'd definitely be hearing alarm bells if that was us in that situation. Especially when you take into consideration the relative urgency of their position.

They're honking, at the bottom end of the table and struggling for form and points. If ever they needed to take swift action then it's now. Instead they're farting about chasing a guy who may or may not want to be there. And making a Noel Hunt of it in the process.


It's quite marvelous, to be honest.

I think Stendel will go eventually, but hearts problem is that their best players are Berra who’s past it, Souttar who’s injury prone, Naismith who’s knees are made of wheatabix and Ikpeazu who is Leveins favourite son and who McPhee thinks is a winger.

They’ve essentially got a whole team rebuild to do and they’re in the bottom 4 separated from bottom by a point.

[G B Young]

If you could take one thing from this, it is that Budgie is not very good at running a football club.

She basically stared from ground zero with them, with huge funds and no debt. Now they have a botched stand, botched pitch, bottom of the league and running at a 4m per annum loss and nae senior football people at the club that know what they are doing.

Hilarious.

Yes, this is what baffles me about the seemingly accepted 'fact' among the media that Budge is a wonderful businesswoman. On what is this actually based when it comes to the way she's running Hearts? As far as I can see the only 'business' asset she brings to the table is her connection to friends with money to pump into the club.

Farmer and Petrie (in particular) took a fair amount of flak but their business acumen helped deliver a whole new stadium plus a wholly-owned training academy for probably less than Hearts have spent on one unfinished stand and kept our club living within its means for many years. Sure, the on-field performances were up and down but you couldn't really fault the way they transformed the club's infrastructure.

Budgie really needs to appoint a CEO not a Director of Football as she is clueless about running a football club.

[Real Emerald]

If you didn’t know better you would think they were trying to get Alex Ferguson out retirement the way this guy has been hyped up. I bet 95% of the dumbos hadn’t even heard of this sacked Barnsley manager 6 weeks ago. All that money for what exactly????

[Diclonius]

Lol why's this guy not signed yet

This is comedy gold.

Never even applied for the job and they're virtually begging him to come.

He's obviously holding out for a bigger job to become available down South.

I'm not sure how in-demand he'd be in England given he's just been given the heave-ho from Barnsley.

Sunderland might take a look given he took Barnsley out their league, but I wouldn't bank on loads of other clubs falling over themselves to snap him up.

The inherent difficulties of employing an unemployed manager...

A torturous process, apparently. Remember it was this torturous for them last time until they unveiled Levein.

Wasn't so torturous, apparently, when they gave the job to Robbie Nielson, or Ian Cathro.

Incredibly, Hibs didn't find it that torturous when bringing Ross in, or Hecky, or Lennon, or Stubbs...

[McSwanky]

That flight from Frankfurt seems to be taking an awful long time...

[KeithTheHibby]

It should never under any circumstances take this long to appoint a manager.
Even if he had been under contract at a club it would be quicker than this.
Budge may have bailed them out a few years ago, fair play to her on that however she does not have a clue how to run a football club.

[Since452]

Complete cluster**** from start to finish (whenever that is). They really are a mess of a club

[Col2]

I think we will find that the REAL reasons for the delay are partially the Barnsley compo but also significantly the backroom team and Leveins role. Budge is not keen on doing a clean sweep of the clowns that have been in place for many years including McPhee and is as ever oh so close to her dear Craig. Anyone coming in must wonder how the dynamics of this little set up will work.

How stupid beyond stupid was it for Budge to ask Levein to show Stendal around the (rented) training ground and the PBS. The guy that was DOF, board member and manager who was sacked was then the main guy to show the new prospective manager around 😱😱

Idiots beyond belief.

[Gloucester Hibs]

They are now using the comfort blanket of "don't panic, Budge said 4-6 weeks" as if that is a perfectly acceptable time frame to be appointing a new manager in when you're hovering around the relegation zone.

So have they got a manager yet?

[Deansy]

Mrs Doctor Budge does like a good long letter but I think the real delay is when they despatch it to Barnsley forthwith by horse borne courier.

Her footman Levein is in no hurry to see any deal done, so instead of making all speed on his trusty steed Daly he has been spotted killing time at various wetherspoons and Betfreds between Edinburgh and Barnsley.



Sent from my SM-A750FN using Tapatalk

Nah, the delay will be down to the standard Jambo business-practice - the letter will have been sent with no stamp thus forcing Barnsley to pay double (fine plus postage) on receipt !. Then add on more time for Barnsley to de-cipher it if Budgie sent it un-edited !

[Sioux]

Perhaps the most glaring error was Budge failing to make contact with Barnsley before courting this circus performer, things may have gone smoother. A simple question would be ‘is there any impediment to Hertz making an approach for your manager’. The contract/compensation would have been clear. This is how 99% of negotiations begin. Find out where there’s weakness and strength. Me thinks the budge has ****** up.

The ones I know don’t think they should pay anything because he was sacked. I tried to point out that that was indeed not the case but fell on deaf ears.

If what has been banded about is true... 12k or so a week equates to 624k. That is an unbelievable amount of money for a club their size! Mental

Heart of Midlothian Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Daniel Stendel as its new First Team Manager.

The 45-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal and will take up his new post on Tuesday, December 10th.
German-born Daniel made a name for himself in his playing days as a striker in his homeland, featuring for clubs such as Hamburger SV, Hannover 96 and FC St Pauli.
It was at Hannover where he would cut his managerial teeth in April 2016 after a spell coaching the U19 side.
A little over two years later he arrived on British soil to take over at then League One side Barnsley. Having been relegated prior to his arrival, Daniel immediately turned round their fortunes, leading the Oakwell outfit to a second-placed finish ahead of Jack Ross’ Sunderland, and securing promotion back to the Championship at the first time of asking. He left them in October of this year.
While it has taken some time for this process to reach its conclusion we firmly believe that Daniel is the right man to take the club forward.

I hope his tenure at hertz is like Butcher's at us. What a weird thing to say in the statement, they are obsessed with us from the tea lady to their dodgy owner.

[Crab apple]

That statement is pretty desperate stuff even for them. The good doctor’s stock has fallen as a result of this drawn out saga and she’s got a lot of making up to do with the cardigan wearers. By all accounts they are paying DS top dollar. I’d have been more concerned if they had appointed someone like Steve Robinson. And faced with a choice of JR or DS I’d have been gutted if we had chosen DS. I think he will be the Yams Heckingbottom.

[wallpaperman]

The pressure on Stendel is already immense and he doesn’t start until next week.

A bit above average is not going to cut it with the Jambo hordes, he’s going to have to get positive results, and quickly.

He will probably get some of the players to improve, but some of them are just bad footballers, he can’t give them ability they don’t have, he can’t stop Naismith pulling something every couple of weeks and being out injured again.

There seems to be blind optimism (desperation) that he will do well going by the threads on Kickback, I suppose he has to be an improvement on Craigy boy.

The new guy has a huge job and will need all the resources and luck for him to get up the table. The Hearts fans will judge him on derbies with one coming up in less than 3 weeks.

Budge shows her complete lack of class by handing her rivals just a wee bit more incentive and makes it just a little bit more difficult for Stendel. Idiots beyond belief.

Even worse than getting the sacked Levein to show Stendel around the training ground and PBS. Total fannies 😂😂😂

[660]

We’re so much bigger than Hibs that we don’t need to mention Hibs at all. After all, we’ll move above Hibs once the manager we got instead of the current Hibs manager takes over. To be honest, Hibs are barely worth our time because we are a huge club. Did you know the Hibs manager finished below our new appointment btw. Hibs won a few games but we took our time to appoint this manager which finished above the hibs manager last season. Hibs.

😂

[HFC93]

That line in the Hearts announcement ffs . Absolute cringe.

[Col2]

So who’s the director of football/sporting director?

I am willing to bet they will delay any appointment, hope Stendel wins some games and fans happier then announce right after a big result that Craig Levein will be the new SD.

[Col2]

No reference to his coaching team, the existing coaching team and Austin Powers.

[Hermit Crab]

10 points behind and in freefall. Won't be finishing above Jack Ross' Hibs.

Absolute cringe central that club. 😂


And if they do finish above us has Jack Ross failed and should he go?

[matty_f]

And if they do finish above us has Jack Ross failed and should he go?

Do you think that will happen?

[SaulGoodman]

Give it a *** rest

[HFC93]

That's the spirit.

[Hermit Crab]

Unlikely but theres a long way to go in the season, our next 2 fixtures are against the OF, say we lose both and Hearts make up some ground. 10 points isn't that big a gap really.

[Hermit Crab]

Give it a *** rest


Give what a rest? Its a question.

[Vault Boy]

And if they do finish above us has Jack Ross failed and should he go?

They won't, so it doesn't really matter.

But as you well know, the Hibs manager will be judged on his results for us, not on the performance of other teams. Very good start on that front.

😴

[weecounty hibby]

For a club that likes to proclaim their bigliness they don't half make themselves look tinpot with their statements. Hibs are now, always have been and forever will be the benchmark for them. They don't care how good, bad or indifferent the team are as long as they are better than Hibs. Been a long time now ya fuds and it will continue

[Hermit Crab]

That's the spirit.


I didn't say it would happen did I?

[Offside Trap]

And if they do finish above us has Jack Ross failed and should he go?

Two questions:

What’s your view on the likelihood of that happening and why?

If it does what’s your response to your own question and why?

[The 90+2]

Is it? Some on here wanted him at one point.

He’s no Davie Moyes 😉

[The 90+2]

Yes, as we would be in the relegation zone.

[Hermit Crab]

I'd take him. :agree:

[Sir David Gray]

If we were sitting joint bottom just now and 10 points behind Hearts, I'm willing to bet you wouldn't give us any hope of catching them.

[Groathillgrump]

I see on Kickback someone's already spelling their new gaffers name like this:
Danie1 5tendel :rolleyes:

Haha just saw that. They can't help themselves eh. What a sad, small time pathetic wee club they are. Cringewothy stuff but beautiful to know we are such a constant thorn in their side and living permanently rent free inside their minds :greengrin

[Just_Jimmy]

Number one target, one after they got bumped by "ten points clear" Ross.

Where's jack ross' Hibs in relation to weird Dan's hearts ya melts?

Unbelievable and petty statement. I am sure it makes all those puddle drinkers happy after another defeat and rooted to the bottom of the league.

[Eyrie]

Number 1 choice
If you ignore the other 2 they wanted before that,...

Three surely?

Adams and Ross rejected them and McPhee failed his audition.

[007]

The number one target comment is Budge suggesting they didn't want JR. That plus the beating Jack Ross's Sunderland comment are deflection tactics.

She'd stated they were going to get someone high profile and experienced. Stendel is neither. A month ago only a few had heard of him and many of those that had, was only because of Joey Barton allegedly assaulting him. His experience consists of just 100 games as a head coach. 34 in the German 2nd division and 66 with Barnsley, only 11 of these were in the Championship (where he scored a total of 6 points) and the rest were in League 1.

I can assure you that at no stage did Ross have any intention of landing the Jambo gig.

And he only lasted a season with each. He’s a huge risk for Budgie given the money they are shelling out for him. And in JR v DS head to head last season JR was unbeaten.

[Diclonius]

Let them have their fun. The only thing that matters is beating him now.

[Jones28]

Get tae bed ffs

[lord bunberry]

The problems over there run far deeper than who’s in charge of picking the team. You’ve got the incontinent tour guide hanging around like a bad smell while all his coaching team are still in place. They’ve got no money to spend in January and were down in Manchester trying to punt their superstar young right back that can’t currently get into the team to Man City. Their squad is demoralised and completely unbalanced. If this new guy is known for playing attractive football what is he going to make of Ikpeazu? Add that they’ve got an owner with no idea about how to run a football club and this new guy is on a hiding to nothing.

[The 90+2]

Ross, didn’t apply for the Hearts job, he met them as being professional and took our job as soon as it was offered. Hearts didn’t have the chance to offer Jack anything.

Probably not if we sat bottom of the league 10 points behind them tbh.

[Eyrie]

If Ross didn't apply then Hearts must have asked him for an interview, which is proof they wanted him.

[Vault Boy]

Absolutely spot on. It's objectively a really tin pot move, but it just shows how utterly desperate they are these days. Quite pleasing.

[NOLA]

Seeing as Stendel likes to get in amongst his teams fans and sample a few beers [emoji481] how long before we see him doing the 5-1 hand [emoji870] and talking about beating the “wee team” I don’t think he will go so far as to get FTH tattooed on his dome but! Or will he [emoji85][emoji23]

Seemingly this appointment is a huge statement from Budge to everyone that she means business.

100 games as a manager
zero knowledge of Scottish football
costs for him and staff c£1m
Heckingbottom lasted longer with Barnsley in the Championship!


Seemingly he likes a to have vodka shots down the Tynie Arms though

£29m and 5 years too late. Business genius.

[Since452]

Panic panic panic

Pumped again, bottom of the league, Hibs ragdoll Aberdeen. What should we do Mrs Budge? Quick, announce Stendel and put something in the statement about Hibs to distract our deluded fans...

[Waxy]

Daniel stendal is pretty close to an anagram of Stand Denial.
Just a wee random thought.

[Since452]

Stendel loves a pumping from a Jack Ross team. Hopefully that continues

[Since90+2]

They are basically just a comedy act club now.

An expensive **** new stand , smaller capacity than ER, fighting relegation, worst team in the league over the past 12 months , and they had to effectively beg a manager who got sacked from Barnsley to take over at them.

We occupy their thoughts so much that they need to mention our new manager , who turned them down , when appointing their new manager. We really do live in their heads 24/7.

Let's not forget it's a stand that they forgot to order seats for, and that they needed to get Gary "has someone been eating asparagus" Locke to show fans how to work a turnstile.

Personally I’d be cringing if we were joint bottom of the league and their new manager had put them 10 points above us in 3 weeks .

[wallpaperman]

An amusing thread over the road which asks will Stendel favour the high pressing game, the assumption is that he will.

Many of the more lucid Jambos (I know, I know) are pointing out that this style is going to suit almost none of their more experienced players for various reasons.

Could be interesting to see how this unfolds....

Claire, Ikpeazu, Naismith, McLean and Berra are not players that are going to play a high press.

Especially with Steven McLean (who of course can't run but that's OK because he's never been able to, according to Professor Levein)

Trying to play a high press with that squad is a recipe for disaster. They'll be picked off by far more streetwise teams.

[GreenCastle]

Try get Berra playing out from the back - it isn’t going to happen.

High press is possible on the 5 a side Tiny pitch but away from home it won’t work.

I said it earlier in this thread - this guy will be here max till end of next season and will move on.

They would have been better finding a manager who can build them and not some inexperienced guy who wants to be back in England or Germany as soon as possible.

Bottom line is if he was any good he wouldn’t have been sacked from his only 2 jobs and other teams around the world would have made an offer. They can dress it up / release amateur statements as much as they like but if you have half a brain you can see this.

Looking forward to seeing how the next mess unfolds for them.

I thought the Sporting Director was meant to be appointed 1st also ??

[ionahibby]

Got a feeling he will be a skacel type character for that lot. Beat us once and he will be hero who will forever be welcome down the Tynie arms 🙄

[FilipinoHibs]

The good thing is JR is familiar with the new manager's tactics and approach. Can't wait.

[Oscar T Grouch]

They play St Johnstone next, the announcement has been made now to give him his best chance of starting with a win. If they had announced before the Motherwell game they'd be facing one of the in form sides in the league and would probably seen a defeat for his first game in charge. That is a gamble though and if they get beat at Home to the Perth saints it will be a worse start than getting beat off the 3rd placed team in the league. Remember St Johnstones last win was against the gorgie puddle drinkers :greengrin

[Jack Hackett]

Nah! He was history after the Killie game. No way back after that.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Must been "even ready" to go out if they lost.

You could tell the whole thing was rushed out to appease/distract the support after another bad defeat! No photo of the gadgie with a scarf over his heid, or even so much as a direct quote from him? :lolyam:

[Coco Bryce]

Complete amateurish behaviour from them as usual.

[Springbank]

Anyone else hearing that Barnsley have asked for £480,000 compensation?

[jacomo]

“Now Daniel, let’s run through it again... you show five fingers on one hand, and one on the other, like this.”

Edit: meanwhile Budge will repeat ‘no.1 target’ more times than BoJo says ‘get Brexit done’.

[Since452]

To be fair St Johnstone at home is the easiest possible start. Be funny if they don't we win

[Jim44]

Anyone else hearing that Barnsley have asked for £480,000 compensation?

That’s probably their opening gambit. Budge will offer £50k and after a bit of toing and froing Barnsley will accept £150k.

[Barney McGrew]

That’s probably their opening gambit. Budge will offer £50k and after a bit of toing and froing Barnsley will accept £150k.

The way they throw money against the wall, it’s more likely Budgie will successfully negotiate their payment up to £750k :cb

[I'm Spartacus]

Anyone else hearing that Barnsley have asked for £480,000 compensation?

I have heard that the complexities of his contract situation made him an unattractive options for those clubs that came calling, one being Sunderland - strange situation. Looking forward to watching their BBC documentary and the clown led circus that will play out in front of us all.

If I hear "High press" one more time I think i'll spew.

[Cataplana]

Any photos of the Messiah arriving at the Budgiedome yet?

[Carheenlea]

If there’s still negotiations ongoing over compensation, then despite the post defeat announcement there might still be a chance of this falling through? Unless Hearts have accepted what the max they may have to pay.

[Since452]

Is he expected to be in the dugout on Saturday?
